On Monday morning, two road sweepers were tragically killed on the Gbagada-Oshodi Expressway in Lagos State when a driver, who was attempting to flee from traffic officers, was at the wheel.
VerseNews gathered that officers from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) reportedly pursued a driver whose identity remains unknown as of now, after they observed he had crashed his vehicle into two individuals from the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), as the latter had been carrying out their duties by the roadside.
A demonstration ensued as a result of the situation at hand, with people passing by and driving protesting the execution of the street cleaners.
Subsequently, agents of security, such as police officers, appeared at the site and threw tear gas in order to break up the convergence and quell the situation.
In a statement released on Monday, LAWMA officially confirmed the demise of two sanitation workers.
“LAWMA is working with security agencies to apprehend and prosecute the errant driver of the car, with vehicle number EPE 984 DV,” the statement read.
“We wish to appeal to motorists for the umpteenth time, to drive with utmost caution on the highways, to avoid sad incidents like this happening to our sanitation workers or anyone in the course of their legitimate duties.
“The public is urged to remain calm as appropriate steps are being taken and necessary measures put in place.
“Our heartfelt condolences go to the families of the deceased, whom we love most dearly. May their souls continue to rest in peace.”
